Connecting two tv's to one directv receiver?

Question

Is it possible. I'm worried I'll have the same channel on both tv's.

Answer 1

I know you asked about directv but the answers are about dish network.  This is my experience:  DISH network has receivers that allow for dual room viewing, meaning one receiver can be used view 2 separate tvs in 2 separate rooms if you so desire.  Only one can be HD or DVR however.  

I canceled directv a few months ago so this may have changed... if not... directv receivers only transmit to one tv.  I tried to shop for a dual signal receiver while I was with directv to save the extra $5 + taxes but it simply wasn't available.  

DISH network - YES, it is possible with a the dual signal receiver

Directv - NO, not at all

Answer 2

Answer 5

Try using a cable splitter after the receiver, before the t.v..
